Trash
1002 W 6th ST
- Case Date:
- 8/15/2019
Trash scattered all over property.
Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes). Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.
Trash has been dumped in the ally behind this property and 1004 W 6th Street.
The kids at 1005 W 6th have not taken their garbage to be emptied since they moved in (September). The past week, the full garbage can fell over in their front yard. Now animals are going through their garbage. It is slowly spreading in their yard.
Bamboo at the side of the house is growing into neighbors yard.
Backyard being used as dumpsite
The trash collectors threw the garbage can in my garden. My neighbors, who enjoy my garden, took this photo and sent it to me. They were upset to see the flowers and herbs on front wall crushed. These plantings are for the enjoyment of the neighborhood and to support pollinators.
yard overgrown, windows boarded, possible squatters living on property, could be unsafe
Overgrown in front and backyard. House looks abandoned.
